LONDON, April 21.-The Budget was a

those relating to the National debt charges

organization of bicycle club here is being
agitated. A preliminary meeting has been
held at which various committees looking
to the promulgation OF y permanent Or
ganization were appointed.
The private car of Assistant General
Manager J. M. Buckley, OF the Northern
Pacific, was side-tracked here by this
mornings East-bound train, Brigadier
General John Gibbons, Commander of the
Department of the Columbia at Fort Van
couver, and D. e. Corbin are guests of Mr..
Buckley, and the party will remain in
town a few days.
This evenings Herald thus describes the
rapid progress being made on the Montana
Central towards Butte: When the contract
for the Montana Central line to Butte was
let it was announced by the officials of the
company that the commencement of the
work at the earliest possible moment was
imperative. Larson, Keefe l. Co., the con.
tractors, lost no time in. obeying this be-
hest. The next day aft er securing the con-
tract they had teams and men on the way
to the scene. and two days later ground
was broken upon the site of the big tunnel
at Wickes. A force of 15O men with teams
and scrapers was placed on the south end
and half as many on this side near Wickes.
Work was commenced on both ends at once,
and by this time considerable advance
has been made on the approaches. The
contractors are laying the whole country
under tribute for lumber. The demand oc-
casioned by the bridge building and tie
cutting for the Northern Pacific branch has
taxed the mill facilities and woodmen to u
great extent, and it is no easy task for the
Montana Central to procure the necessary
timber on demand. Still. the contractors
are rustlng on this score as well as in every
direction, and are now laying down large
quantities OF lumber at both ends Of the
tunnel. This material is rapidly trans
formed into building stuff, and sheds for
various uses are going up with great
ra apidity. The steam engines, boilers and
air compressors, drills, ETC., for the boring
plant have already been shipped, and in
the course OF three or four weeks will be in
position at the tunnel. The Ingersoll air
drill, the same used by the Muir
Bros. at the Mullen tunnel will
be the implements employed at the
Wickes tunnel. With these oncein place and
battering at the rocky walls of the great
the progress OF the tunnel will be
steady and rapid. Under the system OF
driving bottom headings which will be
at this tunnel it would be poss-
ibIe to complete il in six months working
from both ends, but no one expects such a
rapid advance, and if the big bore is fin
ished in twelve months hence it will be the
fastest piece of tunnel work ever done in
the Northwest. The grade for the rest OF
the road and the little tunnels will advance
with equal rapidity. We understand por-
tions OF it are already under construction
of the hands of su sub-contractors.

DEATH OF JOHN e. BLAINE.
A Brief Sketch of his Omcial Life In
Montana.

Montana.
HELENA, M. T., April 21, 1sS7.-The
news of the death of Major Blaine at Ar
kansas Hot Springs this morning was re-
ceived with regret by a large circle OF
his friends here, where he has resided almost
continuously for the past sixteen years.
During this time he has been quite prom
ineatly before the people OF the Territory in
positions OF trust both civil and military
and had a large acquaintance throughout
Montana. His death was caused by a
malady of the brain from which he had un-
availingly sought relief at the Hot Springs
military hospital. His death was not en-
tirely unlocked for by his friends.
John Ewing Blaine was born in Browns
vile, Pennsylvania in 1910 and was con-
in his 47th year. In 1871 he
was appointed Surveyor General OF Mon
tana, which position he held until 1875
when he was commissioned Major and
Paymaster of the United States and sta
toned at Helena. He has remained here
IN that capacity almost continuously with
the exception of years duty in New
York from whence he returned only q few
ago. He leaves a wife and three
who are in Chicago.

yeara' suffering, Was entir-ly cured by DR..
MacLennan. Following is Mr.. Hennessy's
card:
To THE PUBLIc-Si1 years ago met with
an accident which injured my left hip and
leg. l continued to suffer great pain; my
